Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese ($100 Giveaway)

Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese

Quick and easy Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese, using Barilla Whole Grain Pasta, scores winning points on the home front.

On Super Bowl Sunday our house was filled with eager friends and enticing food. We had wings and sliders and a variety of finger foods and cakes, but the dish that seemed to get the most attention was a dip.

Ahem … a dip that I did not make.

That’s alright. I don’t mind being shown up. After tasting our friend Eric’s Buffalo Chicken Dip, my mind starting churning with inspiration. This dip would taste great with nearly anything, so why not use it as a springboard for other recipes?

When I received a package of Barilla’s Whole Grain Pasta in the mail, I knew this was the place to start. Think about it … creamy buffalo chicken dip and pasta. This was a no-brainer.

    First of all, Buffalo chicken mac and cheese is easily one of my go-to crowd-pleasing meals :) I haven’t made it for a single person who hasn’t wanted to eat the entire tray’s worth, haha. Yours looks really great, I love the simple sauce you use…no bechamel required! I actually love Barilla’s whole grain pastas. It makes me feel a lot less guilty about indulging. I often use their whole grain pastas for mac and cheese among other pasta dishes.

    Your pictures are fantastic! I always have trouble getting cheesy casserole-y dishes to look pretty, but you made this stuff look amazing!

    I like Barilla Whole Grain because it holds up to even the thickest sauces and still tastes great!

    Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese (GIVEAWAY) Awesome recipe from @spicyperspectiv blog. @myblessedmess loves buffalo chicken, either fried nuggets or grilled chicken breasts dunked or drizzled with buffalo sauce, topped with blue cheese, my fav! I’m a Mac & Cheese girl, and the two of these scrumptious dishes married together is simply amazing! And to use @BarillaUS pasta gives the eater the nutrients they need, happily hidden inside the crowd pleasing dish! http://shar.es/gCzUQ

    I love Barilla Whole Grain pasta because it has the best of both worlds (white and whole wheat worlds, that is). It has the smoothness of white pasta, but a nice hit of the nuttiness you get with whole grain pastas, too.

  55. 55

    Sommer, this looks really, really good! I know my family would really go for this one. We use whole wheat pasta in all of our pasta dishes and have really grown to love the taste and texture.

    Laurie says:

    This is the only pasta I buy. With the whole wheat version, it gives it a soft yet flavorful taste. I just used the fusillia pasta in a Butternut Squash, Black Bean and Fire-Roasted Tomato Sauce served over the pasta!! Topped with Toasted Pumpkin Seeds and Fresh Cilantro!!

    Barilla is the only pasta I use! The Safeway here,in Douglas,Wy., doesn’t carry the variety that Wal-Mart in Casper,Wy does,so the Whole Grain Pasta is the only one I buy! the taste is great and it seems to be more filling. I will be trying this recipe as my daughter loves spicy food! Thanks for posting it!

    Cristina says:

    I first tasted Barilla in Italy where I spent a month working with a friend many years ago, and I was hooked! I am thrilled that they also launched the whole grain version here is the US. That way I can take care of my family health while providing the best ever pasta dishes. I tend to use Mediterranean-inspired recipes. It’s a family tradition, just as Barilla is a family band.

  122. 122
    Christine Davila says:

    Not only is Barilla my go to sauce brand (when I just don’t have the time to make it on my own), but now that they offer this delicious whole grain pasta, they are definitely my go to pasta. It is so tasty and the texture is perfect, not like other whole grains which my kids have described as tasting “stale”. If my kids can’t tell a difference, then I’m a happy camper!!!

  133. 133

    Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese is what I make every year for Super Bowl! However, your version looks a lot easier to prepare which is always good when preparing for people to come over to your house. It’s crazy because Barilla Whole Grain Pasta is what I use in it (and whenever making any pasta dish to be honest) Love the fact that I can get in that whole grain in my pasta without it tasting too much like whole grain which the fam loves.

    I have to admit that I prefer white pasta, but we’ve made the switch and I love that Barilla is a really great source of fiber for our family’s diet….especially for my sons who eat a lot of the wrong foods when left to their own devices.

    Very yummy looking. I’ll have to try this soon.
    I enjoy Barilla’s pasta because it is a healthy choice that tastes even better than the not-so-healthy pastas.

    Almost completely inedible, the wing sauce completely overwhelms the pasta and the cheese sauces, this is a great idea for a dish but this recipe is impossible to enjoy, I ended up tossing the whole pan. great pictures though,

      Oh no Max! I wonder what brand of wing sauce you used?!? I’ve made this with 3 different brands and it always turns out delicious.

    I love Barilla pasta. Some whole grain brands taste gummy and tacky, but Barilla whole grain tastes just like their other high-quality pasta, only healthier!

    I like that it’s made with 51% whole wheat, which makes it a healthier pasta option.

    I love Barilla’s Whole Grain Pasta because it provides more fiber, it is nutritious and delicious. I have been buying the Barilla’s regular pasta for many years and switched to this whole grain once I tried and love it’s texture.

    I absolutely love the Barilla whole grain pasta! My husband loves pasta and using the whole grain lets me give him something nutritious without changing his favorite dishes. Plus, Barilla is awesome with putting out coupons and sometimes I can get it for free!

    I love that its a very well known name brand offering whole grains to the masses. I am a huge proponent of eating whole foods, especially whole grains and have noticed that lots of people have a negative opinion of “health foods.” With the Barilla name comes a guarantee that its going to taste great and hopefully that will get more people to try it and see that eating healthy tastes great!

    I really like Barilla Whole Grain pasta because I don’t feel guilty eating it. You get the same flavor but with better for you ingredients! Other brands don’t compare (they are either too processed tasting, or too grainy!)
